Keeping Cork Active
Clonakilty is set to benefit from an inclusive and welcoming community initiative as the Clonakilty Sanctuary Runners extend an open invitation to people of all ages and abilities to take part in their weekly meet-ups.
Taking place every Saturday at 9:20am, the group meets at The Show Grounds, Park Road Entrance (P85 D654), offering locals a relaxed opportunity to walk, jog or run together in a supportive and social environment.
Sanctuary Runners is known for bringing people together from all backgrounds, creating a space where connection and wellbeing are prioritised over pace or performance. The Clonakilty group continues this ethos, encouraging participation from both experienced runners and those who simply want to enjoy a gentle walk.
The initiative aims to strengthen community ties while promoting physical activity, inclusion and friendship in a welcoming, non-competitive setting.
Participants can look forward to:
Whether attending alone or with friends, newcomers will find a warm welcome and a supportive group ready to meet them where they are.
The Clonakilty Sanctuary Runners emphasise that everyone is welcome, regardless of fitness level, background or experience. The group is committed to creating a safe and inclusive space that reflects the diversity of the wider community.
Those interested in joining can simply turn up on the day—no registration required. For further information, contact Olive on 083 408 3621.
This initiative presents a simple but powerful way to stay active, meet new people and be part of a positive community movement in Clonakilty.
